News release

Milton Transit will begin to put into action its five-year service plan in the new year, through the support of Council with their approval of the 2025 budget.

The Milton Transit Five-Year Service Plan and Master Plan Update sets out a strategic vision and re-designed transit network to guide transit planning and operations to 2029 and beyond.

Key initiatives that residents will begin to see in 2025 include:

  • The Town of Milton matching Halton Region’s contribution in the Subsidized Passes for Low Income Transit (SPLIT) program. This will provide a 100 per cent subsidy on transit tickets and passes for eligible low-income Milton residents, ensuring that local transit is more accessible and affordable for those in need.
  • Expanded service hours Monday to Friday until 10:30 p.m., starting in September.
  • The Introduction of a new Sunday service that will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., starting in September
  • The purchase of seven new buses to meet growing trip demand and reduce wait times, for service expansion in 2026.                                 

Council’s budget investment in Milton Transit supports the improvement of services as the town grows, while continuing to make transit efficient, reliable, and ready for the future.
